Anyone else immune to sedation? Endoscopy fail?

So I went for my endoscopy tidy. First lot of needs did nothing. They gave a second lot (pethidine) also did nothing so they died and I stood up and walked out (and removed oxygen mask they insisted I needed).

I am not obstreperous just really upset, I had explained several times I was scared and would be good if someone could be with me and despite there being four people in the room there was no one taking to me/reassuring me etc. If they'd said 'this is the worst bit etc ' I'd have maybe given it a go but they just seemed a bit cross.

Anyone else seemingly immune to sedation? They are now referring me for surgery so they can knock me out instead

Frangipane. I also had an endoscopy (gastroscopy - can't remember) many years ago and didn't feel any pain at all. I was vaguely aware of something going down, but not in a bad way.
